How can correctional treatment be more effective?

What will be an ideal response?


A combination of efforts rather than a single approach can have beneficial results in prison treatment. Because younger offenders typically have better success after participating in treatment, it should be mandated that younger offenders start treatment immediately when entering prison to increase their chances of success when they return to the community. Treatment could also be more effective if correctional personnel ensure that inmates are receiving the most appropriate treatment plans individualized to their needs. Program integrity is necessary for offenders to benefit, so it should be ensured that appropriate staffs are leading these treatment groups and that the treatment is matched to the interest and needs of offenders.
